The government has announced that it will be conducting a mass registration exercise for all private security officers, bouncers, stewards, and close protection officers across the country.

Through the Private Security Regulatory Authority (PSRA), the government says that the forum will be conducted at Uhuru Park, Nairobi, on 30th March 2024.

The event will be starting at 9 am. Interior Principal Secretary Dr Raymond Omollo will be the chief guest.

“The purpose of this forum is to officially roll out the Mass Registration of Guard Force Numbers for over 30,000 private security officers following the ongoing MANDATORY nationwide security vetting, training and licensing of all private security officers,” a statement from PSRA says.

According to Section 21 and 28 of the Private Security Regulation Act, no person shall engage in the provision of private security services unless that person has been security vetted, registered and licensed by the authority.
